Help Text system for RT

RT Developers
1

Hive Mind,

I’m adding a help system for Asset Tracker. My implementation
attaches javascript to the labels for many of RT’s fields so
that when click on the user gets an explanation of what the
field is used for. The help is cusomizeable.

The problem I am running into is that many of RTs elements
have no CSS id assigned. Even the newer branches with better
CSS implementation don’t have ids.

Would patches to add ids to some of RT’s elements be welcomed?

If so I would consider implementing RTx::HelpText.

What kinds of elements do you mean?

For example, on the edit links page each label for
the different links (on the delete links side). I
need the labels to have ids so I can attach the
javascript to them.

Also, last I looked the label with the custom field
name (both view and edit modes) has no id.

Those are just examples. I want to have help text for
every field in RT/AT.
